Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-slip track shoe technology, specifically relating to an intelligent monitoring and management system for anti-slip track shoes. Background Technology

[0002] When train carriages are stopped in a depot, there is a risk of them sliding downhill, or they may slide in other situations such as within a station. Therefore, it is necessary to install anti-slip shoes between the wheels and the rails to prevent trains from sliding. Currently, anti-slip shoes are usually installed between the wheels and the rails. Anti-slip shoes consist of a base plate and a pedal. When the wheel tread touches the anti-slip shoe, the base plate is compressed, and the pedal locks the wheel in place, thus achieving a braking effect.

[0003] Traditional solutions require manual inspections and walkie-talkie feedback on the status of the track shoe, which suffers from problems such as "long inspection intervals and slow status updates" and cannot confirm the status of the track shoe in real time. If the track shoe does not remove the open signal, it will directly threaten driving safety. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and reasonably designed intelligent monitoring and management system for anti-slip iron shoes in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A smart monitoring and management system for anti-slip wheel shoes includes: Data acquisition module: The anti-slip track shoe intelligent agent receives satellite signals through the Beidou high-precision positioning submodule, and generates centimeter-level positioning coordinates by combining the differential correction data output by the Beidou differential base station; at the same time, it identifies the track shoe status through the rail surface contact sensor, and the data is uploaded in real time through the low-power wireless communication module. Data transmission module: The collected positioning data, status data, and operation records are securely transmitted to the server in the interaction layer via industrial-grade routers, switches, and security gateways; Data processing module: The intelligent algorithm service platform calculates and matches the positioning data with the stock track. If the coordinates of the track shoe exceed the target stock track range or the status is abnormal, a multi-dimensional early warning algorithm is triggered to generate an alarm command. Visualization and Interaction Module: The intelligent algorithm service platform calculates and matches the positioning data with the stock track. If the coordinates of the track exceed the target stock track range or the status is abnormal, a multi-dimensional early warning algorithm is triggered to generate an alarm command.

[0006] As a further optimization of the present invention, the anti-slip shoe smart body includes a high-precision positioning submodule, a status recognition submodule, a data transmission submodule, an RFID electronic tag, and a wireless charging module.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the intelligent management cabinet for anti-slip iron shoes includes a storage and authorization control submodule, an operation record submodule, an automatic charging and status feedback submodule, a voice prompt module, and a solar power module. The intelligent management cabinet for anti-slip iron shoes verifies the authorization code entered by the operator through the authorization control submodule, verifies the iron shoe number through the RFID identification submodule, and uploads the operation record to the backend simultaneously.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the anti-slip track shoe intelligent management cabinet adopts a dynamic authorization code generation and verification function, which only allows authorized personnel to enter a valid authorization code to retrieve the corresponding track shoes; coupled with an RFID identification module, it automatically verifies the matching of the track shoe number and the storage channel, records the retrieval and return time and personnel information, and forms a closed loop for retrieval and return operations.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, managers can generate authorization codes, query records, and control equipment through the terminal, so as to "have the duty room in control of the entire station's anti-runaway situation".

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, an early warning mechanism is constructed based on intelligent algorithms to trigger audible and visual alarms and pop-up window alerts for anomalies such as misplacement of iron shoes on tracks, failure to disarm within time limit, exceeding of electronic fence, and failure to close intelligent management cabinet within time limit.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, a visual monitoring and management terminal is used to dynamically display the track map of the station and the status of anti-runaway equipment such as track shoes, manual brakes, and sleepers, so as to achieve "one-stop" control.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the software module records the entire process operation data of the track shoe, forming an unalterable electronic log, which supports querying and tracing by track shoe number, time, track, and other conditions, and clarifies the responsible party.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, through the design of "rail shoe intelligent body sensor + low power wireless communication", collects the rail surface contact status and displacement of the rail shoe in real time, reducing the impact of data reporting delay on operations; and with the help of a visualization terminal, it dynamically displays the status of the rail shoes throughout the station, and can update the status information synchronously without manual intervention.

[0014] 2. This invention achieves centimeter-level positioning of the track shoe by combining the technologies of "BeiDou high-precision positioning module + RTK differential base station". Combined with intelligent algorithms, it automatically completes positioning data correction and track matching, directly avoiding the subjectivity and error of manual positioning. It eliminates the problem of "misplacement on track" from a technical point of view, accurately locks the installation point of the track shoe, ensures that the anti-rollover measures are effective on the target vehicle, and reduces the safety risk of vehicle runaway caused by positioning ambiguity.

[0015] 3. This invention constructs an active early warning system through "multi-dimensional perception + intelligent alarm algorithm": In scenarios such as the iron shoe exceeding the station's electronic fence, failure to disarm as instructed, or abnormal vibration after deployment, the system can trigger an audible and visual alarm and pop-up window within a specified time and simultaneously record abnormal information; at the same time, the intelligent management cabinet has alarm functions for "failure to close the cabinet within time limit" and "authorization code verification failure" to prevent unauthorized access, transforming risk prevention and control from "passive post-event handling" to "active pre-event early warning", identifying and blocking risks such as theft and failure to disarm iron shoes in advance, reducing the oversight rate of manual inspections, and improving the safety redundancy of anti-slip operations.

[0016] 4. This invention, through "dynamic authorization code + RFID identification" technology, allows only authorized personnel to access the corresponding track shoes, preventing unauthorized or incorrect access. Operation records are automatically saved, reducing manual operation steps, lowering the human error rate, and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the traceability of the entire process clearly defines the responsible party, facilitating the review of safety incidents and standardizing management processes.

[0017] 5. This invention integrates information on various anti-runaway equipment such as track shoes, manual brakes, sleepers, and fasteners through a visual track occupancy module. It supports operators in inputting track parking information, enabling collaborative display and management of multiple equipment statuses. This breaks the limitations of single-equipment management, constructs a unified anti-runaway control platform for the entire station, adapts to diverse scenarios such as freight stations, marshalling yards, and intermediate stations, and enhances the overall control capability of railway anti-runaway operations. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0019] Example: An intelligent monitoring and management system for anti-slip wheel shoes, the main components of the equipment are: (a) Hardware device module: (1) Anti-slip Iron Shoe Intelligent Body: includes high-precision positioning sub-module, status recognition sub-module, data transmission sub-module, RFID electronic tag, and wireless charging module.

[0020] (2) Iron Shoes Intelligent Management Cabinet: including storage and authorization control sub-module, operation record sub-module, automatic charging and status feedback sub-module, voice prompt module, and solar power module.

[0021] (3) Beidou high-precision positioning related equipment: including Beidou high-precision differential positioning base station and track differential data receiver.

[0022] (4) Visual monitoring and management terminal: As a human-computer interaction interface, it includes functional modules such as real-time status display, abnormal alarm prompts, and background management.

[0023] (5) Network transmission equipment: including industrial-grade routers, switches, security gateways, and UART to Ethernet modules.

[0024] (II) Software Modules: (1) Beidou high-precision positioning service module: including positioning data processing sub-module, track matching and alarm sub-module, and electronic anti-theft management module.

[0025] (2) Iron shoe status monitoring module: monitors the status of iron shoes in real time and triggers an alarm when abnormal.

[0026] (3) Intelligent algorithm service platform: including data fusion processing algorithm, full-process closed-loop management algorithm, and multi-dimensional early warning algorithm.

[0027] (4) Visualized track board module: dynamically displays the track map of the station, the distribution of track shoes and other anti-runaway equipment information.

[0028] Working principle: (1) Data Acquisition Stage: The anti-slip track shoe intelligent agent receives satellite signals through the Beidou high-precision positioning submodule and generates centimeter-level positioning coordinates by combining the differential correction data output by the Beidou differential base station; at the same time, it identifies the track shoe status through the rail surface contact sensor, and the data is uploaded in real time through the low-power wireless communication module. The track shoe intelligent management cabinet verifies the authorization code entered by the operator through the authorization control submodule, verifies the track shoe number through the RFID identification submodule, and the operation record is uploaded to the background synchronously.

[0029] (2) Data transmission stage: The collected positioning data, status data and operation records are securely transmitted to the server of the interaction layer via industrial-grade routers, switches and security gateways to ensure that the data is not leaked or lost.

[0030] (3) Data processing stage: The intelligent algorithm service platform calculates the positioning data and matches it with the stock track. If the coordinates of the track shoe exceed the target stock track range or the status is abnormal, the multi-dimensional early warning algorithm is triggered to generate an alarm command. The track shoe status monitoring module updates the track shoe lifecycle status in real time, forming an unalterable operation log.

[0031] (4) Visualization and Interaction Stage: Based on the processed data, the visual monitoring and management terminal marks the location, status and operation information of the track shoes on the dynamic track map. When there is an abnormality, a pop-up window will be displayed and an audible and visual alarm will be triggered. Managers can generate authorization codes, query records and control equipment through the terminal, so as to realize that "the duty room can grasp the anti-runaway situation of the whole station".

[0032] The combination of "BeiDou high-precision positioning + RTK differential positioning" precise positioning technology: By integrating the BeiDou high-precision positioning module into the anti-slip track intelligent body, and combining it with the RTK differential positioning base station deployed at the station, centimeter-level positioning of the track shoe is achieved. Combined with intelligent algorithms, the positioning data is automatically corrected and track is matched, solving the problem of fuzzy positioning in traditional manual positioning.

[0033] The multi-dimensional status perception design of the intelligent rail shoe agent: The intelligent rail shoe agent has built-in rail surface contact sensor and abnormal displacement sensor, which can identify the status of the rail shoe in real time and capture abnormalities such as illegal movement and vibration after deployment; at the same time, it integrates a low-power wireless communication module to ensure status data and real-time reporting, reduce the impact of data delay on operations, and realize dynamic status monitoring.

[0034] The "authorization code + RFID" track shoe retrieval and return management mechanism: The intelligent track shoe management cabinet adopts a dynamic authorization code generation and verification function, allowing only authorized personnel to enter a valid authorization code to retrieve the corresponding track track shoes; coupled with an RFID identification module, it automatically verifies the matching of the track shoe number and the storage channel, records the retrieval and return time and personnel information, forming a closed loop for retrieval and return operations.

[0035] Multi-scenario anomaly early warning and visual control system: Based on intelligent algorithms, an early warning mechanism is built to trigger audible and visual alarms and pop-up windows for anomalies such as misplaced track shoes, failure to disarm after a certain time, exceeding the electronic fence, and failure to close intelligent management cabinets after a certain time. Through the visual monitoring and management terminal, the track map of the station and the status of anti-runaway equipment such as track shoes, manual brakes, and sleepers are dynamically displayed to achieve "one-stop" control.

[0036] Iron shoe full life cycle data traceability design: The software module records the entire process operation data of the iron shoe, forming an immutable electronic log, supporting query and traceability by iron shoe number, time, track, etc., and clearly defining the responsible party.

[0037] 1. Address the pain point of "vague positioning" and improve the accuracy of anti-slippage operations: Existing technical defects: Traditional solutions rely on manual memory and visual observation of the iron shoe position, which can easily lead to the iron shoe being misplaced on the wrong track due to unclear track markings or human negligence. Furthermore, the specific location of the iron shoe cannot be determined, posing a risk of anti-slip failure.

[0038] The technical advantages of this invention are: by combining the technologies of "BeiDou high-precision positioning module + RTK differential base station", centimeter-level positioning of track shoes can be achieved. Combined with intelligent algorithms, positioning data correction and track matching are automatically completed, directly avoiding the subjectivity and error of manual positioning.

[0039] Beneficial effects: It eliminates the problem of "misplaced track" from a technical perspective, accurately locates the installation point of the track shoe, ensures that the anti-rollover measures are effective on the target vehicle, and reduces the safety risk of vehicle rollover caused by ambiguous positioning.

[0040] 2. Overcome the bottleneck of "monitoring lag" and achieve real-time controllability of status: Existing technical defects: Traditional solutions require manual inspection and walkie-talkie feedback on the status of the track shoe, which has the problems of "long inspection intervals and slow status updates". It is impossible to confirm the status of the track shoe in real time. If the track shoe does not remove the open signal, it will directly threaten driving safety.

[0041] The technical advantages of this invention are: through the design of "rail shoe intelligent sensor + low power wireless communication", the rail shoe contact status and displacement are collected in real time, reducing the impact of data reporting delay on the operation; coupled with a visual terminal, the status of the rail shoes in the whole station is dynamically displayed, and the status information can be updated synchronously without manual intervention.

[0042] Beneficial effects: Upgrading the monitoring of track shoe status from "intermittent manual verification" to "real-time technical monitoring" allows managers to grasp the dynamics of track shoe prevention across the entire station from the duty room, avoiding safety hazards caused by information lag and improving operational response efficiency.

[0043] 3. Address the shortcomings of "lack of early warning" and strengthen proactive risk prevention and control: Existing technology has shortcomings: Traditional solutions rely on manual inspections to detect problems such as stolen or missed iron shoes, abnormal displacement, etc. There is no automatic early warning mechanism, and the detection of abnormal situations is delayed, which may cause the best time for risk disposal to be missed.

[0044] The technical advantages of this invention are: a proactive early warning system is built through "multi-dimensional perception + intelligent alarm algorithm": in scenarios such as the iron shoe exceeding the station's electronic fence, failure to disarm according to instructions, and abnormal vibration after arming, the system can trigger an audible and visual alarm and pop-up window within a specified time and record abnormal information simultaneously; at the same time, the intelligent management cabinet has alarm functions for "cabinet not closed after timeout" and "authorization code verification failure" to prevent unauthorized access.

[0045] Beneficial effects: It transforms risk prevention and control from "passive post-event handling" to "proactive pre-event early warning", identifies and blocks risks such as theft and omission of iron shoes in advance, reduces the omission rate of manual inspection, and improves the safety redundancy of anti-slip operation.

[0046] 4. Reduce reliance on manual labor and improve management efficiency and traceability: Existing technical shortcomings: In traditional solutions, the retrieval and return of metal shoes and the recording of operations are all done manually, which is prone to problems such as "recording errors and omissions and unclear responsibilities". In addition, manual inspection is time-consuming and has low work efficiency.

[0047] Technical advantages of this invention: Retrieval and return control: Through "dynamic authorization code + RFID identification" technology, only authorized personnel are allowed to retrieve the corresponding track shoes, preventing unauthorized or incorrect retrieval, and operation records are automatically saved; Closed-loop process: The software module records data throughout the entire lifecycle of the tracker, forming an immutable electronic log that supports traceability and querying based on conditions; Automatic charging: The smart management cabinet has a built-in charging interface, and the metal shoes will automatically charge after being returned, without the need for manual plugging and unplugging.

[0048] Beneficial effects: Reduces manual operation steps, lowers the rate of human error, and improves work efficiency; at the same time, the traceability of the entire process clarifies the responsible parties, facilitates the review of safety incidents, and standardizes management processes.

[0049] 5. Expand "collaborative management" capabilities to adapt to diverse anti-escape scenarios: Existing technological shortcomings: Traditional solutions can only manage a single piece of equipment, such as the wheel chock. Other anti-slip devices, such as the manual brake and anti-slip sleepers, need to be managed manually separately. Information is scattered and a unified anti-slip control system cannot be formed.

[0050] The technical advantages of this invention are: by integrating information on various anti-slip devices such as track shoes, manual brakes, sleepers, and fasteners through a visual track control module, it supports operators in inputting track parking information and enables collaborative display and management of the status of multiple devices.

[0051] Beneficial effects: It breaks through the limitations of single equipment management, builds a unified anti-runaway control platform for the entire station, adapts to the diverse needs of freight stations, marshalling yards, intermediate stations, etc., and improves the overall control capability of railway anti-runaway operations.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
